Watch it while you can, because it's an amazing match. Wrestling at its best. Cesaro is a beast and Zayn is so much better now than when he was El Generico (and he was pretty friggin' awesome then). If they put this on RAW, these 2 would be instant successes.

It's fantastic. That last fall alone is amazing!

Going to watch it now.
What does NXT stand for? If not, it should be New Extreme Talent.

That was freaking crazy. First, I like the look of NXT, I like the dim lighting and the dark canvas with the yellow ropes, looks old school. Freaking Cesaro is an incredibly strong dude. I think they may have made a beast out of him just a little too much, especially with the pin, but I don't follow it so maybe this was what they wanted. Regardless, that was a great match and both of them put on an awesome performance. That could have headlined a PPV, it was great. I may watch a little more now.

NXT isn't on TV, unless you have Hulu Plus. You can always find it on YouTube or download it from somewhere though.
I wanna go home and see this match already!

Dave, WWE's been looking a lot better these days, focusing a lot more on matches than in the past. There are still their short matches and squashes, but the important matches are getting more time and are less marred by bullshit. On Sunday at SummerSlam Daniel Bryan beat John Cena CLEAN in a great match, WITH Triple H as the ref! Seemed impossible! But it happened. THEN Haitch turned of Bryan. It was amazing, because you honestly forgot Haitch was there during the match. The wrestling is getting better overall, with guys like Bryan, Punk, Cena (yes, Cena!), Cesaro, Ziggler, Del Rio, Christian, Sandow, Rhodes, the SHIELD, Big Show, Henry, Usos, PTPs, Wyatt Family, AJ, Big E... the product's been much better than not.
And then you have the potential talent in NXT (which means NeXT, by the way), like Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, Kassius Ohno, Xavier Woods, Leo Krueger, and others. A lot of talent that can come up that can make a hell of an impact, and most of those I mentioned are former Indie stars.

I've read great reports about tonight's Smackdown. So far, it's been a good first hour.

That match...wow. I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said about it. Just spectacular.

Some people, I've read, have bitched about the chinlock submission. I thought it was brilliant. Wore him down to the point where Zayn had to think about the third fall instead of trying to save the second. Especially since he stole the first fall.

I found it a little odd, but I think it worked well, especially considering the way he spun him around. That made it legit. I still think he uses a bit too many rest holds though.

They had to. Did you see that closing stretch? Because of that, they needed to conserve their energy for it. It felt very oldschool in that respect, FAST!, buildup, SUPERFAST! I found it to just work out great.

In this case, I agree. I don't dig how he does it in relatively short Raw matches though. It's making me enjoy him slightly less to be honest.

He needs to wrestle more matches like he did against Bryan. he needs to be the beastly guy he is, literally throwing his opponents around while they attempt to make comebacks in the matches. They've just not booked him properly at all and he's suffering when he should be running roughshod over the midcard.
